Shift Pattern: Various shifts available.

• Providing an excellent home shopping experience by putting our customers at the heart of everything we do.
• Loading the van where required, and checking your van for roadworthiness.
• Understanding the schedule and route that has been calculated for you.
• Looking the part in your uniform, ready to help our customers.
• Driving safely, responsibly and within the law.
• Being courteous to all road users.
• Serving your customer with a smile and greet them by name.
• Taking care of your customer's deliveries as if they were your own.

Company context and values

Our vision at Tesco is to become every customer's favourite way to shop, whether they are at home or on the move. Our core purpose is "Serving our customers, communities and planet a little better every day." Serving means more than a transactional relationship with our customers; it means acting as a responsible and sustainable business for all stakeholders, for the communities we are part of, and for the planet. Through initiatives like the Tesco Community Fund, our association with Children's Health Foundation, our partnership with FoodCloud and our Stronger Starts programme, we have supported over 21,000 community groups, raised over €7.5 million for medical equipment, and provided almost 15 million meals nationwide to those living in food insecurity.

Tesco has operated in the Irish retail market since 1997, with 170 stores nationwide, employing over 13,000 people in Ireland, supporting almost 45,000 jobs directly and indirectly. We partner with over 500 Irish suppliers, of which almost three-quarters are small and medium enterprises, supporting almost 13,000 farming families. Tesco is the single largest buyer of Irish food and drink in the world, purchasing €1.6 billion a year.

We work closely with suppliers across Ireland who are dedicated to making the best products for our customers and this is reflected in the numerous awards our products have won over the years including Blas na hÉireann, World Steak Challenge and Great Taste Awards.

Inclusion and accessibility

We are proud to have an inclusive culture at Tesco where everyone truly feels able to be themselves.
